iPod touch, iPhone 3G explode

Cue the usual “Apple’s gadgets are hot property” puns and “so cool they’re burning up” jokes; two Apple devices have reportedly combusted or exploded, with the company allegedly requiring one owner to sign a gagging-agreement before paying out compensation. In Liverpool, UK, a teenage girl’s iPod touch exploded, having first hissed violently and increased in temperature, while in Leiden, Netherlands, an iPhone 3G caught fire and burnt through a car seat.

well it probably got hot because that person left it in the car. it heated up and then exploded so it makes sense, kinda like that one episode of mythbusters they tested the temperature inside a car on a hot day
